Millennia ago, along the quiet banks of the Nile, the ancient Egyptians used charcoal to kindle fire, create fuel and smelt ores. The midnight substance offered the Egyptian civilisation an array of marvellous benefits, and its ability to purify the skin it touched. The Egyptians drew from the charcoal’s miracles and embraced its antibacterial and antifungal benefits in a bouquet of beauty rituals. They used it to craft poultices to keep wounds clean and applied it to their faces to draw bacteria, dirt and micro-particles out of their skin. They celebrated its purifying properties and found its ability to absorb impurities remarkable. The Nile Activated Carbon by Timeless Beauty Secrets embodies the ancient Egyptians’ legendary purifying rituals and recreates the magic of their charcoal traditions.
